Why Do We Use Dry Fruits for Chappan Bhog On Janamashatami?

Janmasthmi is celebrated all over India with great devotion, enthusiasm, and fervor. Krishna, Gopal, Murli Manohar...no matter what you called him, he always spread love and harmony on us. So to make Lord Krishna happy and to take blessings from him, people make 56 food items. The story behind the 56 food items goes that, to protect his villagers from the wrath and fury of the Lord Indra, Krishna Ji had lifted the Govardhan Mountain and put it on his little finger.

 He had lifted the mountain for continuously seven days until Lord Indra realised his mistake. Lord Krishna usually eat eight food items per day, but during that period he has not taken a single drop of water. So at the end of the seventh day, people offered Lord Krishna 56 dishes( 7 days* 8 dishes).

From that day, devotees offer Lord Krishna 56 dishes on  Janmasthmi. Some of the common food items include sweets, namkeen, fruits, cereals, badam milk, cashews, almonds, elachi, pistachios, kheer, rasgulla, makhaana, Ghewar etc. One of the most scientific reason behind the dry fruits items is that they are very good source of energy and provides a lot of nutrients too. Devotees who do fast on this day, eat some of the food items after offering it to Lord Krishna.

Energy is really an important aspect when you are on a fast. So to get some energy during the fast, there are limited food items which include dry fruits, dahi, sweets, chila etc. And we at Ashoka dry fruits provide you these items at a very reasonable price. You can purchase these items online and can also visit our store at Tilak Nagar and Dwarka. Do Worship Lord Krishna with the pure heart and the pure food items.
